Two students are working together to design a lab that measures reaction time by having one student drop a ruler and the other one catch it. The distance the ruler drops before it is caught is measured in metres. The students must work together to come up with a formula to measure the reaction time in terms of distance.
Derive a formula to calculate reaction time using the key kinematics equations. State any assumptions clearly.
b) State one way in which students could reduce their reaction time in the experiment described above.
